Benedict XVI, Rouse Yourself!
Tissa Balasuriya, a progressive Roman Catholic theologian from Sri Lanka, has often been at odds with the leadership of his own church over issues such as the role of women, the relationship between Christianity and other world religions, particularly Buddhism, and the lack of courage on the part of many Christians in addressing issues of global poverty and war. In a pastoral letter issued today, he addresses these concerns to the Pope. Well worth reading.
